1921-S Buffalo Nickel. MS-65 (CACG).

1921-S Buffalo Nickel. MS-65 (CACG). Delicate golden-apricot iridescence mingles with dominant light silver gray color. The surfaces are softly frosted and lustrous, the strike boldly to sharply executed in all areas of the design. The 1921-S is one of the most challenging issues of its type to locate in high grades and with strong aesthetic appeal. For starters this is a scarce issue due to a limited mintage of 1,557,000 pieces and a high rate of attrition through circulation. Indeed, most survivors are well worn and grade no finer than VG. Perhaps surprisingly, low end Mint State examples are more available than those in EF and AU grades, but the former are usually poorly struck with other unappealing attributes such as planchet laminations, toning streaks or heavy flowlines. All of these attributes point to the use of worn dies and otherwise poor workmanship on the part of San Francisco Mint personnel. The opportunity to acquire an aesthetically pleasing, technically superior 1921-S nickel such as the CACG MS-65 offered here usually comes along only once in a long while. CACG Population: 4; 0 finer. PCGS# 3948. NGC ID: 22RU. Click here for certification details from CAC.
